Abstract: The method for the relative calibration of at least two microphones (205, 207), is able to obtain the relative sensitivities (a1, a2) of the microphones, without the need of a controlled sound input from a loudspeaker (301). For the determination of the sensitivities (a1, a2) of the microphones, the calibration algorithm (CAL) uses the coefficients (w1, w2, w3) of a beamforming filter after adaptation.

Abstract: Pour retourner des patients en chirurgie, lesquels sont souvent anesthésiés ou disposent d'une mobilité réduite, une force considérable est nécessaire et le déshabillage de ces patient est effectué par environ cinq préposés aux soins/infirmiers, et lors du retournement du patient il faudra en outre débrancher le matériel de mesure et de surveillance connecté à ce dernier, ce qui prend du temps. Pour résoudre ces problèmes cette invention concerne un dispositif d'assistance (2) permettant de retourner des personnes gisant sur un lit (6), et plus particulièrement sur une table d'opération, dont la particularité réside dans le fait de comprendre un rouleau rotatif (8) orienté parallèlement à un lit et qu'on peut suspendre dans la longueur (4) de celui-ci (6). L'axe rotatif (10) du rouleau (8) peut être élevé au dessus de la surface de repos (12) de ce lit (6), les extrémités (14, 16) du rouleau (8) étant suspendues aux extrémités libres (18, 20) de fixations verticales (22, 24) fixées démontable sur la longueur (4) du lit. Ainsi, un préposé aux soins/infirmier assume une fonction redondante et, par ailleurs, il n'est plus nécessaire de débrancher et de rebrancher des appareils éventuellement connectés au patient pendant le retournement de celui-ci.

Abstract: The station-side communicating apparatus according to the present invention includes an allocation determining unit that determines a bandwidth allocation for each of the subscriber devices in each data-collection cycle; and a history managing unit that takes a history of a request increment from the bandwidth request amount acquired from more than one time of data collections and an allocation amount allocated by the allocation determining unit for the bandwidth request amount, and presents bandwidth request amount to be a target for the allocation determination to the allocation determining unit by dividing the bandwidth request amount into a plurality of request increments indicated by the history. With this configuration, because a detection of a segment of packet data in the request data amount and execution of an allocation for a portion of the request data amount is possible, the upload bandwidth can be allocated in such a manner that the data-transmission waiting time is reduced while effectively using the shared bandwidth.

Abstract: The invention relates to wireless communication systems wherein services involving two or more stations in the system may be activated automatically. Data is communicated between airborne stations (A,B) according to a TDMA protocol, where the data is transmitted in time slots organized in frames of a repeating frame structure. A link address is associated with at least one time slot, and the stations select link addresses for transmission of data according to a self-organizing transmission algorithm. Each station (A,B) broadcasts data messages of a first type (D 1 ) at a first repetition rate and receives such corresponding messages from the other stations (A,B). At least based on the received data messages of the first type (D 1 ), each station determines whether a service activation criterion is fulfilled with respect to at least one other station (A,B), for example by the other station being located within a limit distance (r A ). If the service activation criterion is fulfilled, the station (A,B) starts to transmit data messages of a second type (D 2 ), which pertain to a service that involves the station itself and the at least one other station (A,B).

Abstract: In a transceiver system a passband single carrier transmitter is coupled to
a first ultra-wide-band wireless transmission channel and a receiver may be coupled to
the ultra-wide-band wireless transmission channel. The receiver may receive signals
transmitted by the passband single carrier transmitter over the ultra-wide-band wireless
transmission channel at a baud rate less than or equal to half of a spectral bandwidth of
the signal transmitted by the passband single carrier transmitter. A passband single
carrier transmitter may transmit a symbol stream via lossy ultra-wide-band wireless
transmission channel at an adaptively chosen baud rate that is based on the lossy ultra-wide-band
wireless transmission channel. The adaptively chosen baud rate may vary
over a range that includes baud rates less than or equal to half of a spectral bandwidth
of the transmitted symbol stream. A receiver may receive the transmitted symbol
stream from the lossy ultra-wide-band wireless transmission channel.

Abstract: An implantable infusion apparatus (100) has a medication reservoir (102) for storing a
medication (104) and a carrier reservoir (106) for storing a carrier (108). The entire apparatus, including
both reservoirs, is typically located in a housing (110) made of stainless steel, titanium, or any
other strong corrosion resistant biocompatible material. The medication and carrier
reservoirs are accessed through a medication access port (114) and a carrier access port (116),
respectively. The access ports are covered with a medication compound septum (118) and a
carrier compound septum (120), respectively. The carrier reservoir is larger, and thus holds a
larger volume, than the medication reservoir. To reduce the size of the implantable
infusion apparatus, the medication is highly concentrated to many times the dosage
required. The concentrated medication is then diluted with the carrier, to the proper dose,
before it is discharged to the patient.
